The Environment and the Human Spirit class asks students to develop a conscientious awareness of relationships between humans and the world in which they live. Students will question how they came to hold their beliefs about “nature” or the environment, including the role of personal and cultural narratives surrounding these positions. This knowledge will inform discussions of attitudes and policies required to resolve serious environmental issues. The ultimate goal is the development of analytical skills to understand and engage in discourses around nature from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Students writing a dissertation must complete a total of 5 credits by registering for five consecutive terms of dissertation credit, one credit per term. Dissertations are written per the policies, practices and procedures in the Dissertation Handbook.

In this course, students begin drafting their dissertation under instructor supervision. Students working individually on their dissertation drafts focus on the description of their topic, refinement of their research questions, and outlining their review of the literature with feedback and recommendations for revisions from their instructor. Final approval of these drafts of portions of the dissertation rests with the student's individual dissertation committees, as described in the current Dissertation Handbook, as revised from time to time. Following the procedures outlined in the Handbook, students may form their committees before, during, or after their enrollment and completion of Dissertation Planning I and II.
